Biofilms are aggregates of organized microbial growth that function as barriers and create a
stable internal environment for cell survival. The bacteria in the biofilms exhibit …

Genetic fluctuation during range expansion is a key process driving evolution. When a
bacterial population is expanding on a 2D surface, random fluctuations in the growth of the …

Phage predation is an important factor for controlling the bacterial biomass. At face value,
dense microbial habitats are expected to be vulnerable to phage epidemics due to the …

Bacterial biofilm-associated diseases have become the leading challenge for global food
security. The inherently dense biofilm matrix provides bacteria with violent resistance to the …

The primary obstacles in the management of Enterococcus and Streptococcal infections are
drug resistance and biofilm formation. Our study revealed that loratadine at a concentration …

T-even bacteriophages are known to employ lysis inhibition (LIN), where the lysis of an
infected host is delayed in response to secondary adsorptions. Upon the eventual burst of …

Aeromonas veronii has serious implications for food safety and the aquaculture industry.
The iron uptake system can effectively regulate the life activities and pathogenicity of …

Genetic fluctuation during range expansion is a key process driving evolution. When a
bacterial population is expanding on a 2D surface, random fluctuations in the growth of the …

We investigate the growth kinetics of bacterial biofilms on porous substrates. A three-phase
model is developed, which accounts explicitly for the cell phase, extracellular matrix (ECM) …

Bacteria's competition for nutrients and territory drives biofilm evolution (1-4). The factors
determining the outcome of competition among diverse bacterial species have a broad …
